Excerpt (by the way, if this kind of thing were being done in college by an NPC sorority, and word got out or complaints were made, wouldn't the chapter get corrective action from their national?):

Part of the initiation involves girls not washing their hair for a couple of days and carrying “goodie bags” filled with candy. A senior member can require a “rat” to run over and give them candy during the school day.

The “rat” tries to get as many members as possible to sign a book that shows they received candy, but the senior member can rip out that page in the book and make the “rat” start over.

Does the state of Virginia consider these acts hazing?

If so, someone should educate the co-president on Virginia's hazing law.

if you think thats bad--you should hear my college's interpretation of hazing...they're really hypocritical. its hazing to have a member of an organization be alone in a room with a new member of the organization, but they haven't done anything with respect to known hazing that goes on in some local orgs on campus eg: one organization used to kidnap new members of different sororities and then make the sisters do things like jump on trampolines half-naked to get the girls back--

oh and we didnt really have "high school sororities" but we did have a bunch of different clubs to which you needed to appeal for membership, or be specifically invited...some of them were pretty exclusive, but none of them hazed (as far as i know) i think it was mostly to make up for the fact that we dont have greek orgs in my state (college level that is) and a lot of kids in my highschool didnt go away to school...
